All Hawkinson NDTs operate on the principle that small flaws in electrical insulat-ing materials (and rubber) can be found using high-voltage, high-intensity electri-cal fields. For example, consider an ordinary electrical cord: as long as the cord’sinsulation is sound, the electricity is contained and it flows in moderate amounts.However, if the insulation is flawed, an arc can develop between the two conduc-tors. Very high current then flows, and a fuse or circuit breaker detects the highcurrent and shuts down the circuit.

When using an NDT®-INSP 2, the rubber in the tire is the insulator. You insert ahigh-voltage probe into the tire opposite a grounded roller (Figure 4). If the tire issound, minimal current flows. If the tire is flawed, an arc occurs. This arc is brightand easily visible. Also, as the current flows through the penetrations, the NDT®-INSP 2 detects it and warns of the flawed condition.

Figure 5

The type of high-voltage pulse the NDT®-INSP 2 uses is different for fabric and steeltires. (You select the correct voltage at the console with a two-postion switch.)

The NDT®-INSP 2 detects the following flaws for fabric and steel tires (Figures 6 and7 on the next page.)

CONTROLS

OFFONPOWER POWER (keyed, two-position switch)

This switch operates with a key that you can remove when the switch is ineither position. After you use the key to turn the power on, remove thekey and use it to turn the HIGH-VOLTAGE switch on or off.

This switches the machine to either the FABRIC or STEELtesting system. The two pilot lights (120 volts) on eitherside show which system you selected.

IMPORTANT: The FABRIC testing system uses highervoltage than the STEEL testing system. If you selectthe FABRIC testing system for a radial tire and apply itto the tire for too long, you may damage the tire.

OFF ONHIGH VOLTAGE HIGH VOLTAGE (keyed, two-position switch)

This switch, which must be in the ON position for the machine to operate,uses a key. The switch must be in the OFF position before you can put thekey in or remove it (it uses the same key as the POWER switch). This pro-tects the computer—the operator must turn off the high-voltage switchbefore shutting down the machine. Using two keys or bypassing this safe-ty voids all warranties, whether expressed or written.

OUT INARM SWING ARM SWING (two-position selector switch)

This swings the arm to the center of the tire. You must set this switch toIN before you can lower the probe into the tire.

UP DOWNINSIDE INSIDE (two-position selector switch)

Controls the placement of the probe inside the tire.

CONTROLS

MANUAL MANUAL (black push button)

If a flaw is detected, the tire will stop rotating and the yellow flaw lampwill light. When you depress this button 1⁄2 way, the test arc will be gener-ated. If you depress the button all the way, you will generate the arc androtate the tire. This helps you locate the flaw. When you remove your fin-ger, the test will stop and so will tire rotation.

START START (dark-green push button)

When you press this green button, the test starts, the computer is in thetest mode, and the tire starts rotating. ALSO, press this button again afterany flaw is detected to restart the test.

FOR REVOFF MOTOR DIRECTION (Three-position selector switch)

This switch changes the direction of the tire rotation and turns off themotor. During tire testing, this switch must be in the FOR position so thetire rotates in a clockwise direction. The little yellow and black rotationarrow on the machine shows the correct rotating direction for the rubbercovered roller. You may reverse the direction to find the flaw, but duringthe normal test run, this switch must be in the FOR position.

FLAW

FLAW (yellow 12-volt light)

Warns of a flaw in the tire. When the NDT®-INSP 2 detects a flaw, themachine stops and the FLAW light goes on.

This light also has a press-to-test feature to test the circuit. If the light goeson when pressed:

– The light bulb is okay– The 12-volt power supply is okay

MOTOR ROTATION SPEED

This knob controls the speed of the tire’s rotation. Position “0” is the slow-est speed, and position “100” is the highest speed. Moving this controlknob between these two settings will increase or decrease the speed of thetire rotation.

We recommend that you set the rotation speed at “80” for best results.

FOOT PEDAL SWITCHES (3)

These pedal switches allow you to start tire rotation when you are awayfrom the control panel.

TESTOVER

NORM REVOFF

TEST OVER (green 12-volt light)

Shows when the timer has reached zero and the test is timed out. Thislight only indicates when the electronic test has timed-out. It does notimply that the tire has been completely checked or that the visual test isover. We recommend marking the tire to ensure that it has had a com-plete rotation (see the HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS section).

This light also has a press-to-test feature to test the circuit. If the light goeson when pressed:

– The light bulb is okay– The 12-volt power supply is okay

DIRECTION CHANGE SWITCH (onother side of the NDT®-INSP 2)

This switch allows you to change thedirection of tire rotation from theother side of the NDT®-INSP 2. TheNORM position on this switch per-mits the motor to run in the samedirection as selected by the switchon the control panel.

MAINTENANCE

24

The Hawkinson NDT®-INSP 2 is designed to provide years of heavy-duty servicewith minimal maintenance. Most calls for assistance that we receive are becausethe cables from the Control Cabinet have become loose or worn. This is the firstthing you may wish to check if you are experiencing difficulties.

We recommend you replace the high-voltage cable (cable 7 in Figure 10) once ayear.

Periodically check the following items to insure dependable service:

Mechanical

✓ The yellow high-voltage cable connecting running the control cabinet to thehigh-voltage probe of the Inspector should not pull tight, and contact withmetal parts should be minimized.

✓ The black coax cable from the 4” x 4” transformer box on the swing arm to the12” x 10” box on the control cabinet should be unrestricted by other wires orobjects and tightly secured at both ends.

✓ The ground cable connecting the control cabinet to the Inspector should beconnected and secured tightly.

✓ The air pressure at the main regulator should be 40 psi (2.7 bar). The downpressure of the high-voltage probe should be 2 psi (0.33 bar). The up pressureon the high-voltage probe should be just enough to raise it without stressingthe tire sidewall if it makes contact when rising.

✓ The chains and the high-voltage probe must be clean and all chains should bethere.

✓ The probe should track inside the tire properly. To check the probe tracking,use a tire that is not out of round or worn unevenly on the crown radius. Theprobe should always be straight and in the center of the tire.

✓ The metal drive roller and probe should be kept clean.

✓ The plastic sleeves on spreader arms should be free from wear and spin freely.

MAINTENANCE

Electrical

✓ Fuses

• Fuse #4 is a 1-amp fuse for the 12-volt DC power supply, which powersthe control box, FLAW and TEST OVER lights, and the relays found inthe control cabinet. The relay under the cabinet lid enables the motor torun when the Branick foot pedal switch is depressed. The lower relayactivates the 50,000-volt DC power supply.

• Fuse #3 is a 2-amp fuse for the 50,000-volt DC power supply, which gen-erates the voltage for tire testing.

✓ High-voltage test

• This test should be performed only after receiving instruction from a quali-fied person, because there are many safety considerations when conductingthis test. NO TIRE SHOULD BE MOUNTED ON THE SPREADER DURINGTHIS TEST!

• Turn the POWER switch ON, the HIGH-VOLTAGE switch ON, the ARMSWING selector to IN, and the MOTOR selector to OFF.

• Spread the spreader arms enough to allow the probe to lower.

• With your right hand, hold the upper bar above the high-voltage probe.Turn the INSIDE switch to DOWN, and exert enough force on the upper barto keep it from lowering.

• Push the START button with your left hand. (Be careful not to touch thehigh-voltage elements on the high-voltage probe.) The high-voltage ele-ments on the probe include the chains, the chain holder, the wheels, thesidewall wires and all metallic parts conntected to them.

• The voltages inside the cabinet are lethal!

• Never operate the machine with the control cabinet door open!

• Be sure the electrical connections are properly grounded. Note thatin North America the 120-volt plug is polarized.

DANGER!

Page 26: HAWKINSON NDT -INSP 2, REBUILD & UPGRADE NDT®-INSP 2, REBUILD & UPGRADE OPERATOR’S MANUAL ® The safety alert symbol means CAUTION, WARNING or DANGER—personal safety instruc-tion.

• Allow the high-voltage probe to slidedown slowly until an arc occurs betweenthe probe and the roller. The high-voltageturns off automatically when the arcoccurs.

• Look at the NDT TEST GAUGE on theslide track and the pointer on the clevis ofthe UP/DOWN cylinder.

• When testing in the FABRIC mode, thepointer should point to the blue dot.When testing in the STEEL mode, thepointer should point to the green dot.

Note: You cannot generate a high voltagewhen the INSIDE or HIGH VOLTAGEswitches are in the UP or OFF mode,respectively.

❏ Check the condition of the cables connecting the Control Cabinet to

the Inspector to make sure all are tightly secured.

❏ Check the tire construction—Is the tire bias or radial? Is the tire tube

or tubeless?

❏ Check the tire size—is the problem occurring for just one size, or sev-

eral different sizes?

❏ Especially, find out if the trouble is occurring in BOTH FABRIC and

STEEL modes, or is the trouble limited to just one of the modes?

❏ If the NDT®-INSP 2 is missing penetrations, please note:

1. Is the high-voltage arcing to the penetration?2. Is the penetration all the way through the tire?

❏ Have the NDT®-INSP 2 serial numbers and computer numbers athand

This will help us diagnose the problem more quickly and accurately.

INSTALLATION

The Branick Tire Inspector is shipped completely assembled.All that is necessary to prepare it for service Is to connect anair line to the fitting at the lower left end of the machine and towire the electrical box. It is important that the electrician wirethe electrical box correctly. There is .an arrow on the motorindicating the correct direction of rotation. The motor Is 2 H.P.,230 volts, 3 phase, unless ordered special. The light cordshould be connected to a 115 volt single phase power source.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The normal operators position is facing the machine with thetire lift on the right hand side and the air control valves just tohis right.

Push the “Start” button at the “Start-Stop” switch when readyto inspect tires. The rollers .will not revolve until a foot pedal isdepressed. Stepping on any of the three pedals, front, rear orlift end will activate the rollers.

Pull the bead hooks up and away from the center of themachine. With the tire lift on the floor, roll the tire onto the liftcradle. Actuate the tire lift air valve (LOWER VALVE OFCLUSTER) and raise the tire onto the machine between thetraction rollers.

Place the bead hooks between the tire beads using the han-dles provided. If the beads are very close together, drop in onebead hook and carefully tip the tire, to open the beads. Thiswill allow room for the other bead hook.

Place the light inside of the tire. The light is fully adjustableand can rotate to view any portion of the tire.

With the bead hooks engaged and the light inside of the tire.press on a foot pedal to rotate the tire. Spread the tire todesired width by operating the spread air valve (TOP VALVEOF CLUSTER). The tire can be stopped in any position byreleasing the foot pedal.

CAUTION—After the tire has been inspected:1. Stop tire rotation by releasing foot pedal2. Release spread cylinder completely 3. Remove bead. hooks from tire4. Roll tire onto lift cradle and lower to floor.

ADJUSTING SPREAD HOOKS

There are three spread arm height positions. Most tires can beInspected with spread arms in one position on the powerarms. The spread arms are held in position with spring loadedlock pins. To release the pins, place hands under horizontalbar and with the thumb release the lock and slide the spread

arm assembly up or down. The locks will pop into the newposition when centered on the hole.

If the tire is lifted off of the traction rollers when the tire isspread, the arms should be lowered to the next position.

NOTE—RADIAL TIRES

When inspecting some radial tires, the tire may shift to theright and collapse. To prevent this the tire lift can be lockedinto position to hold the tire centered on the traction rollers.There are two methods Of locking the tire lift into position.

1. At the time the tire is lifted onto the machine, the opera-tor can push the tire forward enough to latch the twolocks which are on each side of the lift cradle. Once thelocks are secured, the tire can be inspected in the normalmanner.

2. If the tire is already on the machine with the bead hooksin position. the operator can lower the lift slightly, raisethe lift cradle by hand and secure the locks. When thelocks are secure, the lift can be brought up against thetire to hold it centered on traction rollers.

CAUTION—THE LOCKS MUST BE RELEASED BEFORE USING THE LIFT TO LOWER THE TIRE TOTHE FLOOR.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION—DISCONNECT POWER SOURCE (AIR ANDELECTRIC) BEFORE SERVICING MACHINE.

The chain idlers are equipped with zerk fittings and should begreased every six months.

The vertical posts should be cleaned and waxed periodically toallow hook assemblies to slide easily.

Once a month pour about 1/4 cup of 10 or 20 SAE motor oilinto each air cylinder. Each six months remove air cylindercover plates and remove piston and rod. Clean cylinder thor-oughly. After reassembling cylinders, add 1/4 cup of Oil tospread cylinder through plug in pipe tee and to lift cylinderthrough plug in cover plate.

INSTALLATION, LUBRICATION, and OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGBoston Gear speed reducers are normally shipped without lubricant. They must be filled to the properlevel with the recommended lubricant for your application before operation.

40

Instructions for Flanged Models (NEMA C-Face Mounting)

1. Leave protective sleeves on shafts for safer handlingof speed reducers during installation. The sleeves areprovided to protect your hands from potential sharpedges on keyways.

2. Align all shafts accurately. Improper alignment canresult in failure. Use of flexible couplings is recom-mended to compensate for slight misalignment.

3. When mounting, use maximum possible bolt size andsecure reducer to a rigid foundation. Periodic inspec-tion of all bolts is recommended.

4. Auxiliary drive components (such as sprockets, gears,and pulleys) should be mounted on the shafts as closeas possible to the housing to minimize effects of over-hung loads. Avoid force fits that might damage bear-ings or gears. Projecting input shafts are furnishedwith a keyway and, except for Models 710, 715, and724, with an axially tapped hole. Models 732 through760 are supplied with axially tapped holes on bothends.

5. For hollow-shaft speed reducers, place speed reducer asclose as possible to supporting bearing on driven shaft.

Spot-drill driven shaft for set screws in severe applica-tions. See kit instructions for reaction rod assembly.

6. Check and record gear backlash at installation andagain at regular intervals. This should be done by mea-suring the rotary movement of the output shaft (rotatingalternately clockwise and counterclockwise at a suitableradius while holding the input shaft stationary. Gearsshould be replaced when the backlash exceeds fourtimes the measurement taken at installation.

7. Gear drives are rated for 1750 input RPM and Class IService (Service Factor 1.0), using Mobil SHC B34synthetic lubricant. For lower input speeds or for dif-ferent service classes or lubricants, see catalog for rat-ing information.

8. Initial operating temperatures may be higher than nor-mal during the break-in period of the gear set. FORMAXIMUM LIFE, DO NOT ALLOW THE SPEEDREDUCER TO OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY ABOVE225°F. AT THE GEAR CASE. In event of overhearing,check for overloads or high ambient temperatures.Keep shafts and vent plugs clean to prevent foreignparticles from entering seals or gear housing.

General Instructions

RF700 (Coupling Input -- One-Piece Sleeve Type) 1. Remove protective sleeve from input shaft.2. Assemble the key provided and coat the reducer input

shaft with anti-seize compound, also provided. (Anycommercial anti-seize compound may be substituted.)

3. Slide the coupling half on the reducer input shaft untilthe coupling bottoms.

4. Assemble the key to the motor shaft and coat the shaftwith anti-seize compound. Insert the motor shaft intothe coupling bore.

5. Rotate the motor to proper position and firmly secureto flange with four hex-head cap screws.

F700 (Quill-Type Input)1. Assemble the key to the motor shaft and coat the shaft

with anti-seize compound. Insert the motor shaft intothe reducer input shaft.

2. Rotate the motor to proper position and firmly secureto flange with four hex-head cap screws.

RF700 (Coupling Input—Flexible-Jaw Type FC)—Optional1. Coat reducer input and motor shaft with anti-seize

compound.2. Position coupling half on input shaft with shaft flush to

end of coupling bore.3. Locate remaining half on motor shaft, with 1/32" clear-

ance between jaw surfaces.4. Tighten set-screws securely. For reversing applications,

a thread-locking compound is recommended.5. Install coupling insert and position motor. Rotate motor

to proper position and firmly secure to flange.CAUTION—If the motor does not readily seat itself, checkto determine if key has moved axially along motor shaft,causing interference.
